Lyon retains spot as Australia opt against all-pace attack
Australia have resisted the temptation to play four specialist fast bowlers against Bangladesh in the second Test in Mackay, as captain Pat Cummins confirmed Matt Renshaw would open the batting.
Australia retained Pat Cummins as their Test captain for the second Test against Bangladesh, deciding against an all-pace attack. Matt Renshaw, previously dropped, will open the batting in place of Jake Weatherald. Nathan Lyon, who took 1-102 in the first innings of Australia's nine-wicket loss in Darwin, will attempt his 143rd Test. The Mackay wicket, expected to favor pace, will likely see the involvement of spinners later in the match.
